Some positive notes

[CRM 114]

1. We have been down 2-1 in a series before and have battled back

2. Even if we do lose Wednesday, Tampa has had a hard time closing teams out. They were up 3-0 against Montreal and needed 6 games to win the series. They were up 3-2 on the Rangers and that went to 7.

3. Toews and Kane live for these moments. I would say that at least one has a big game coming up. Crawford will also likely be better as we go down the line.

Any others?

You make good points. Tampa hasn't been good at closing teams out, but those series you mentioned were against the 2 best goal tenders in the league. If the Hawks lose Wednesday, they are in deep shit. Their big players have to start stepping up. Now.

I thought TVR looked good.

Bishop is on one leg and they're afraid to play the rookie.

We were down 2-1 to Boston with game 4 on the road. I expect the Hawks to be swarming on Wednesday night.

Splitting up T&K led to a lot of quality chances.

This reminds me of how the Wings frustrated the Hawks through four games a couple years ago. Unfortunately, don't think we can afford to go down 3-1 to these guys. Game 4 a must win, IMO.

Lundqvist for his greatness is a playoff choke artist. So yeah...

Rangers scored only 2.37 GPG -- Lundqvist had a 2.11 GAA and .928 SV% this even after giving up 5+ in two games.

Try again.

How awesome and how many cups? Sounds like Nabokov wannabe. Regular season stud, playoff dud. But you know keep sucking off that Ranger ****.

LMAO @ 2.11 GAA .928 SV% being a dud.

It's called your shitty offense not scoring.

But I wouldn't expect you to be smart enough to look at anything rationally.

Patrick Roy had worse numbers in 1996 when he won the Cup. Oh but wait... The Avs scored 3.64 GPG that year. Oh and he let in 5 AND 6 in the conference finals against Detroit.

Dumbshit.

Look dickfuck he's Nabokov 2.0. Sorry you stroke yourself to a NYR jersey but fact of the matter is playoff. choke. artist. Oh the difference between him and Roy, well besides Roy being just better is Roy has cups. Lundqvist....no cups.

Lol so dumb. Have a nice day.

 

[PatrickShart]

Yikes!

Grimson getting schooled!

Aw the troll's got nothing to defend his mancrush.

Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them a "troll."

I've learned way more about hockey from Grimson than I've learned about comic books from you in your short times here.

 

[PatrickShart]

Nabokov reg season career - 697gms - 353 wins - 2.44ga - .911% (2.43/.908% in playoffs)
Lundqvist rg season career - 620gms - 339 wins - 2.26ga - .921% (2.22/.923% in playoffs)



Awards -
Nabokov - nominated once for Vezina
Lundqvist - nominated 5x, won one, Hart Trophy and Gold medal


I think supra should come up with a better comparison. Or maybe Lundqvist belongs in the AHL as well.

No you're absolutely right. Grimson is a troll because he's a troll. He actually used be funny when he was the class clown kind of troll.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

Maybe I should be sent to the AHL with Bickell and Lundvist.

IDK

I was rash with Bickell he is NHL worthy but he is entirely overpaid. Lundqvist (cant even spell your mancrush right) just can't get it done in the playoffs, awesome regular season goalie just playoff time doesn't pickup the required 16 wins.

 

[Chief Walking Stick]

I guess Niemi is a better goalie than Lundqvist.
